University´s new donor wall

The University of Oulu fundraising campaign 2014-2017 raised 21 million euros for the benefit of research and science. Through donations, many new openings and key recruitments within the research focus areas have become possible. University of the Arctic Research Chair, professor Jeffrey Welker is one of the top scientists recruited thanks to donations.

Since the beginning of active fundraising in 2008, the University of Oulu has been widely supported by alumni, students, staff members, companies, foundations and other friends of the university. The university wants to thank each donor for the support to science. A new donor wall has been built in the central lobby of Linnanmaa campus to acknowledge all the 2400 donors.
